Pluristem's PluriX™ 3D Bioreactor
Pluristem's patented (US 6,911,201) bioreactor,
trademarked PluriX™, promotes the rapid expansion of
stem cells without the use of growth factors,
cytokines and other exogenous materials in emulating
the bone marrow microenvironment.
The PluriX™
Bioreactor System is designed to be a system
of
stromal cell cultures and
substrates that creates an artificial
physiological environment where
mesenchymal stromal cells
(MSCs) can grow and reproduce outside of the
human body. Unlike conventional two-dimensional (2D)
culturing methods, the Company’s PluriX™ Bioreactor
creates a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment
that closely resembles the structure and function of
the body’s
bone marrow environment. By mimicking the
natural environment that exists within human bones,
the system “tricks” stem cells into growing and
reproducing in the same way they would in living
organs. Because the size and scale of the PluriX™
Bioreactor is larger than that of human bone marrow,
stem cell growth can be greatly expanded.
